    Comments about Forstner 7 Piece Bit Set :

    So far the drills are great. I try to very careful with my drill speed but it is only a guess. My only recommendation to Woodcraft is to change from FedEx to the U.S. Postal Service. USPS would have been faster than the ecpress service.

    I purchased this set from Woodcraft about a year ago and have been using them in my shop on a regular basis. After a year of using these I cant think of a single complaint. I am hobby woodworker and have used these bits for various task with many different types of wood and still no complaints. The price is by far the best I have seen for these. Well worth full or sale price.

    Don't think it would be good for commercial use but should be fine for home use. Just doesn't look like the cutting edges will hold up very long if used a lot.

    nice box - then it's all downhill

    By  Ralph Livingston

    • Dull drills

    Best Uses

    • Not recommended

    Comments about Forstner 7 Piece Bit Set :

    I took the 3/8 drill out of the box and it simply would not cut into walnut. I sent them all back. The Forstner bits that I subsequently purchased were made in Austria. What a world of difference. Truly, you get what you pay for.

    Not Particularly Sharp

    Pros

    Cons

    Best Uses

    Comments about Forstner 7 Piece Bit Set :

    I planned to use these bits to bore holes in aircraft grade spruce. Even using modest pressure and a slow feed rate, the bits heated up a surprising amount and left ragged bores in the holes. An examination of the bits showed that the bits did not have a good sharp edge - in fact, several bits had obvious burrs on their cutting edges.
